If our bodies are so good at taking care of themselves, why do we need you? You see what I'm saying, I trust? Obviously, the body is not THAT good at or we'd all live to 110 and probably wouldn't have such an obesity problem...and you doctors would get a lot less business. <br/><br/>As to cost, doctors are a LOT more expensive that colon cleansing or supplements.

My husband uses all manner of laxatives, enemas, etc. and STILL goes many days without anything cleaning out! He's also gained lots of weight, which doesn't "compute" given his exercise regimes and careful eating habits. ANY suggestions from reputable M.D.s? Many thanks.<br/>Peg Appreciate knowing the colon cleansing products are not only useless but potentially harmful.
